Genre: Historical

Russian Folklore has a heavy influence Historical fantasy is one of my top genres and I love exploring the folore that captivated our ancestors. There are so many traditions and practices that influences how we developed as humans. I love being able to explore those rituals and beliefs in stories about creatures and gods from ages past.

I forgot to take notes Like the first novel, RETRIBUTION RAILS was very addictive. It is a bit slower pacing wise than VENGEANCE ROAD, but the plot is much more complicated and layered. Once I started I couldn’t stop. I was almost late for the train one day when I just HAD to finish the final 50 pages because I […]

White’s writing has come so far I think the last time I read Kiersten White was SUPERNATURALLY, or maybe MIND GAMES. They were good, but omg has White come far with her writing! AND I DARKEN was great. Honestly the perfect writing style for historical novels, or even historical based fantasies. I’ll be checking out White’s fantasy books soon and […]
